< Hisqiʼeel 34 >

1 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 “Yaa ilma namaa, tiksoota Israaʼelitti raajii dubbadhuutii akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Tiksoota Israaʼel warra ofuma isaanii qofa sooraniif wayyoo! Tiksoonni bushaayee sooruu hin qabanii?
Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?
3 Isin cooma ni nyaattu; suufii ni uffattu; horii gabbataa ni qalattu; bushaayee garuu hin soortan.
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool. Ye kill the fatlings, but ye do not feed the sheep.
4 Isin dadhabaa hin jabeessine yookaan dhukkubsataa hin fayyifne yookaan cabaa hin walʼaanne. Kanneen miliqan hin deebifne yookaan kanneen badan hin barbaanne. Humnaa fi gara jabinaan isaan ajajju.
Ye have not strengthened the diseased, nor have ye healed that which was sick, nor have ye bound up that which was broken, nor have ye brought back that which was driven away, nor have ye sought that which was lost, but ye have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
5 Kanaafuu isaan sababii tikseen hin jirreef bittinnaaʼan; yeroo bittinnaaʼanittis bineensota bosonaatiif soora taʼan.
And they were scattered because there was no shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.
6 Hoolonni koo gaarran hundaa fi tulluuwwan ol dhedheeroo hunda irra asii fi achi jooran. Isaan guutummaa lafaa irra faffacaʼan; namni isaan ilaalu yookaan isaan barbaadu tokko iyyuu hin turre.
My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill. Yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none who searched or sought.
7 “‘Kanaafuu isin tiksoonni, dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
8 Ani jiraataadhaatii, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan; sababii bushaayeen koo tiksoota dhabanii akkasiin saamamanii bineensa bosonaatiif nyaata taʼaniif, sababii tiksoonni koo bushaayee koo barbaaduu didanii qooda bushaayee ofuma isaanii sooraniif
As I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely inasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and did not feed my sheep,
9 yaa tiksoota, kanaafuu isin dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa:
therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
10 Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani tiksootatti nan kaʼa; bushaayee koos harka isaanii irraa nan barbaada. Akka tiksoonni siʼachi of hin soorreef bushaayee tiksuu irraa isaan nan ariʼa. Ani bushaayee koo afaan isaaniitii nan buusa; isaanis siʼachi soora isaanii hin taʼan.
Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more, and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
11 “‘Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedhaatii: Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan barbaadadha; nan tikfadhas.
For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
12 Akkuma tikseen tokko yommuu bushaayee isaa bira jirutti hoolota isaa warra bittinnaaʼan barbaaddatu sana anis hoolota koo nan barbaaddadha. Ani lafa isaan guyyaa duumessaatii fi guyyaa dukkanaa itti bittinneeffaman hundaa baasee isaan nan galfadha.
As a shepherd seeks out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
13 Anis saboota keessaa isaan baasee biyyoota keessaa immoo walitti isaan nan qaba; biyya isaaniittis isaan nan deebisa. Ani gaarran Israaʼel irra, qarqara burqaawwaniitii fi lafa namni jiraatu kan biyya sana keessaa hunda isaan nan tikfadha.
And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
14 Ani marga gaarii keessa isaan nan tiksa; tulluun Israaʼelis iddoo dheeda isaanii taʼa. Isaan achitti lafa dheedaa tolaa isaa irra ciciisu; marga misaa tulluuwwan Israaʼel irraas ni dheedu.
I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold shall be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.
15 Ani mataan koo hoolota koo nan tikfadha; akka isaan boqotanis nan godha, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah.
16 Kanneen badan nan barbaada; kanneen miliqan deebisee nan galcha. Kan cabe nan hidha; kan dadhabe illee nan jajjabeessa; gabbataa fi jabaa isaa immoo nan balleessa. Ani murtii qajeelaadhaan bushaayee nan tikfadha.
I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.
17 “‘Isin garuu yaa bushaayee ko, Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana jedha: Ani hoolaa fi hoolaa gidduutti, korbeessa hoolaatii fi korbeessa reʼee gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
And as for you, O my flock, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats.
18 Marga misaa keessa dheeduun keessan isin hin gaʼuu? Isin marga keessan kan hafe lafatti dhidhiituu qabduu? Bishaan qulqulluu dhuguun isinitti xinnaatee? Bishaan hafe immoo miilla keessaniin booressuu qabduu?
Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture, and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
19 Bushaayeen koo waan isin lafatti dhidhiittan soorachuu, waan isin miilla keessaniin dhoqqeessitan immoo dhuguu qabuu?
And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
20 “‘Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Gooftaan akkana isaaniin jedha: Kunoo, ani mataan koo hoolaa gabbatee fi hoolaa huqqate gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
21 Sababii isin hoolota dadadhaboo hunda cinaachaa fi gatiittii keessaniin dhiibdanii, gaanfa keessaniin immoo jifattanii alatti baaftaniif,
Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,
22 ani bushaayee koo nan oolfadha; isaanis siʼachi hin saamaman. Ani hoolaa fi hoolaa gidduutti murtii nan kenna.
therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23 Ani tiksee tokko jechuunis garbicha koo Daawitiin isaanittan ramada; inni isaan eega; tiksee isaaniis ni taʼa.
And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; Daawit garbichi koo immoo gidduu isaaniitti bulchaa ni taʼa. Ani Waaqayyo waan kana dubbadheera.
And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
25 “‘Ani isaan wajjin kakuu nagaa nan gala; akka isaan gammoojjii keessa jiraatanii bosona keessa nagaan ciciisaniif bineensota hamoo biyyattii keessaa nan baasa.
And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
26 Ani isaanii fi iddoowwan tulluu koo marsanii jiran nan eebbisa. Bokkaas yeroo isaatti nan roobsa; roobni sunis rooba eebbaa ni taʼa.
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.
27 Mukkeen bakkee ija naqatu; laftis midhaan ni baafti; namoonni biyya isaanii keessatti tasgabbiin ni jiraatu. Yeroo ani danqaraa waanjoo isaanii cabsee harka warra isaan garboomfataniitii isaan baasutti, isaan akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beeku.
And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made bondmen of them.
28 Isaan siʼachi sabootaan hin saamaman yookaan bineensota bosonaatiin hin nyaataman. Nagaadhaan jiraatu; wanni isaan sodaachisu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the earth devour them, but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.
29 Ani lafa midhaan baasuudhaan beekame isaaniif nan kenna; isaan biyyattii keessatti siʼachi beelaan hin miidhaman yookaan sabootaaf waan kolfaa hin taʼan.
And I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall no more be consumed with famine in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.
30 Yommus akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqni isaanii isaan wajjin jiruu fi akka manni Israaʼel saba koo taʼe isaan ni beeku, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.
And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the lord Jehovah.
31 Isin hoolonni koo, hoolonni tika koo namoota; anis Waaqa keessan, jedha Waaqayyo Gooftaan.’”
And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the lord Jehovah.
